Could You Have a Vitamin Deficiency?

Vitamin deficiencies can sometimes develop without being immediately obvious.

Your body relies on vitamins and nutrients for many everyday functions, including energy production, immune function, normal nervous system function and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and bones.

A blood test is one of the most useful ways of understanding whether your vitamin levels are within the laboratory reference ranges rather than relying on symptoms alone.

What Does the Advanced Vitamins Blood Test Check?

Vitamin A

Vitamin A contributes to normal vision, immune function and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes.

Vitamin B1 – Thiamine

Vitamin B1 helps the body release energy from food and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and heart.

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy skin, vision and red blood cells.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is involved in numerous processes within the body, including normal energy metabolism, nervous system function, immune function and the formation of red blood cells.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is important for normal red blood cell formation, nervous system function and energy metabolism.

Low B12 levels may be associated with symptoms such as tiredness, weakness or neurological symptoms, although these symptoms can have many different causes.

Folate

Folate is an important B vitamin involved in normal blood formation and cell division. Testing folate alongside other vitamins can provide useful information about your nutritional status.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and collagen formation and also acts as an antioxidant.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D contributes to normal immune function and is important for maintaining healthy bones, teeth and muscles.

Low vitamin D levels are relatively common, particularly during periods of reduced sunlight exposure.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Beta Carotene

Beta carotene is a carotenoid that the body can convert into vitamin A and provides additional information about nutritional status.

Who Is This Vitamin Blood Test For?

The Advanced Vitamins Blood Test is suitable for people who want a detailed assessment of their vitamin status rather than checking just one or two individual vitamins.

It may be particularly useful if you:

• Have persistent tiredness or low energy
• Want to check for possible vitamin deficiencies
• Follow a restricted or specialist diet
• Are vegetarian or vegan
• Have concerns about your nutritional intake
• Want to check your B vitamin levels
• Want to check your Vitamin D level
• Have concerns about hair or skin health
• Take multiple vitamin supplements and want greater insight into your levels
• Have made significant changes to your diet
• Want to establish a nutritional baseline
• Simply want a comprehensive picture of your vitamin status

Tired All the Time?

Persistent tiredness can have many different causes, but nutritional deficiencies are one possible factor.

Rather than guessing which supplements you might need, a comprehensive vitamin blood test can provide objective information about your current levels.

If you have significant or persistent fatigue, unexplained symptoms or feel generally unwell, you should also discuss this with your GP as vitamin deficiency is only one of many possible causes.

Hair, Skin & Nutritional Health

A balanced supply of nutrients is important for maintaining normal skin and hair.

Changes such as hair thinning, brittle hair or changes in skin condition can have numerous causes, including nutritional, hormonal and medical factors.

Testing your vitamin levels can therefore be useful as part of a wider investigation, particularly if you are concerned that your diet or nutritional status may be contributing.

Already Taking Supplements?

More isn't necessarily better when it comes to vitamins.

Some vitamins, particularly fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamins A, D and E, can be stored within the body.

Blood testing can provide useful information about your current levels and help you have a more informed conversation with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional about your diet or supplement regime.
